Choice of 7-year-old as Samba Queen Causes Uproar in Brazil

Choice of 7-year-old as Samba Queen Causes Uproar in Brazil

A decision by one of Rio’s top samba schools to let a seven-year-old girl lead its 2010 carnival procession has caused uproar on the eve of what Brazilians call the greatest party on Earth.

Leuvano says she was waiting for her daughter outside the running car when someone jumped in and drove off.
